One of the most scenic and challenging courses in the area.

Iron Valley is my favorite public course in South Central PA. The natural scenery is gorgeous; the surreality added to the landscape by its former use as an iron ore mine is eerily calm. From the tips, it is quite difficult. From the white tees (about 6000 yds.), it still feels challenging, but a 10 Index player can break 80 occasionally. Plenty of grass on the driving range, and the restaurant is first-class, with a great view. The only downside is, you'll have to bring plenty of bug spray.

Great layout

This course is one of the best in the area. The layout and scenery is great. #10 tee shot is my favorite. Love the elevation changes... tee it high and let it fly.

Fantastic

Great golf course that's in spectacular conditions. Includes extremely challenging holes with must see views. Greens are very challenging. Most of them are tiered. Great shots aren't always rewarding.

The staff was less then friendly.

We had a storm pass and were called in. We sat around for over an hour. After the storm passed all golfer went back out. Before we got finished with one hole the staff came out and told us that they deem the course unplayable They were not nice at all. We played a total of 5 holes for the day and no rain checks.

Love the scenery and the layout of the course.

I haven't played this course in 10 years, but I still love playing it when I make it back home to PA. It is a challenging course, but it is a fair too.

Iron Valley

This course covers some interesting terrain and provides a lot of neat views. We played very early in the Spring, the greens were just aerated and I had lots of 4 puts while steadying myself in the wind. Looking forward to play again when the course and weather conditions are better.

Windy but fun day.

Played here many times in the past. Some holes were into a 3 club wind so it was a pretty brutal day as far as the weather. Considering spring has just arrived here, the course was in very nice shape. Ownership has made several changes on the front 9 to remove the 'tailings' and make it a little more user friendly.

You have to get a few rounds under your belt to understand where you can miss it and still end up with a good shot. I consider this one of the best public courses in central PA.

Slow play, poor staff and poor service.

Course was full but pace of play was very slow. (5 Hours) There was no marshal/ranger to deal with slow play. Group in front of us had a woman beginner golfer. Very slow, deliberate and the three men would wait on the green for her as she hit many times up the fairway. No etiquette to let us play through. Totally ignored out threesome. Staff was average to rude. Could not get service at the turn for food or beverage. Pretty warm day, need water, ice, hard to get. More than likely will never play there again.

Best Public Course almost anywhere

I grew up playing the much-heralded Saucon Valley Country Club, which is legendary. And you know what, THIS course is legendary as well. It's an amazing design, always in great shape. Challenging, but fair. I have turned so many of my friends from the Lehigh Valley to this gem of a course/facility. DEFINITELY worth the 75 minute drive from Bethlehem. What a great experience playing it (my 5th time). So fun. SOOO worth it!

Best course in the area, challenging with pristine conditions

I have played Iron Valley a couple of times in the past few years. It is probably one of the top two or three courses within a 30 minute drive of Lancaster/Lebanon. It is seated in the woods for a good bit of the round and definitely has a challenging layout. One of the holes is basically an island green par 3 of about 110-130 yards and is definitely a fun one. Carts are mandatory since you'll probably kill yourself trying to walk it. It's a little pricey, but sign up for their email alerts and sometimes they'll run specials for foursomes. I've played it a couple of times for $30-$35 which is a tremendous value.
